Laguna Seca hasn't always been the happiest of hunting grounds for Ryan Dalziel but the 26-year-old will look to rectify that this weekend in the latest round of the Grand Am Rolex Series.
Dalziel heads into the Rumbum.com 250 eager to maintain the momentum built up from his first podium of the season last time out at Virginia International Raceway alongside Henri Zogaib.
Buoyed by that performance, Dalziel will now hope for an upturn in fortune at the Californian circuit where he has run strongly in the past, but has not picked up the results his pace deserved.
“I'm expecting good things from this weekend,” he said. “Our podium in Virginia means we've got some momentum on our side and we'll be looking to keep that going. The car's fast and I'd expect it to suit Laguna Seca just as well. Henri hasn't raced there before so it's important that he gets some mileage under his belt on Friday. We've also got David Empringham coming to help us out this weekend so I'm sure he'll get us both up to speed quickly.
“SAMAX cars are always capable of podiums so it was great to get our first one of the season last month. The team's undergone quite a bit of restructuring so I'd say Virginia was really only the second race of having a solid crew all working together and the result speaks for itself. We needed that result for our confidence; we know we can get the job done so now we have to build some consistency!”
